  • Cloisonne
cast with a globular body resting on a gilt-bronze countersunk base and surmounted by a tall tubular neck with a gilt-bronze lipped mouthrim, the exterior decorated in vivid cloisonné enamels with a pair of two-clawed scaly red dragons writhing ferociously and sinuously amidst dense clusters of variegated blue clouds resembling flowering blooms, all above a band of crashing waves encircling the foot, the details finely accentuated with thin gilt-bronze outlines

拍品資料及來源

本品飾藍地紅龍紋,與青花釉裏紅瓷有類同之處。南宋著名詩人、書法家及藝術大師陳容(1235-58年)所繪《九龍圖》卷中巨龍矯健威懾,啟蒙後世,延此精髓,如此瓶所綴游龍,實屬罕珍。地密飾祥雲,猶如花瓣,彷彿朵朵牡丹,層層疊疊,湛藍深淺過渡靈動自然,祥龍游弋其間,氣勢磅礴。

參考一雍正年製署款青花九龍紋天球瓶例,以此可見雍正帝對《九龍圖》卷之鍾愛有嘉。匠人對鈷藍彩料運用獨到,精準呈現原作之神韻,其售於香港蘇富比1986年5月20日,編號40,載於史彬士,《中國歷代陶瓷選集》,台北,1990年,圖版126,以及耿寳昌,《明清瓷器鑑定》,香港,1993年,圖版103。另可比較一雍正年製落款青花釉裏紅天球瓶,繪紅色巨龍升騰於波濤之上,為清宮典藏,現仍藏於北京故宮博物院,刊於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集.青花釉裏紅(下)》,上海,2000年,圖版197。

乾隆一朝,延製此類掐絲琺瑯龍紋瓶,參考一白地龍紋瓶例,器形與本品相近,唯底足略小,藏於北京故宮博物院,錄於《故宮博物院藏品大系:琺瑯器編3.清掐絲琺瑯》,北京,2011年,圖版102。還可比較一尺寸較大之彩雲龍紋天球瓶例,曾兩度售於倫敦蘇富比,分別為1990年6月12日,編號52,及2011年11月9日,編號401。
